5.3 Validation
Initially the validation checks should be for visual condition and
dimensions.
Subsequently a short test run should be made with the Spiral Elevator in an
un-loaded condition.
5.3.1 Dimension check Spiral Elevator
The technical specification and / or relevant drawing can be used for the
dimension check.
5.3.2 Adjusting and setting the Spiral Elevator
Before the start of the test run make visual checks for jammed parts or
items touching the Spiral Elevator chain links and stop immediately if any
exist.
During the test run pay attention to the correct rotation direction of the
conveyor chain and look at the behaviour of the conveyor chain and the
operation of the drive. The chain should move evenly and without undue
jerking motions.
It is not recommended to make a test run with the machine while the safety
provisions have been deactivated or guards removed. Make sure that the
operation is as safe as possible and that there are no unauthorised persons
near the Spiral Elevator.
If during the test run abnormal sounds are heard or if there is an impression
that other irregularities occur, immediately switch off the Spiral Elevator
then investigate and remedy the cause. The checklist in section 5.6 and the
troubleshooting list in section 6.3 may be of assistance.
If the problem cannot be solved, please contact the supplier for advice
before continuing the integration.
If the initial test above is OK, then the following test procedure may be
followed.
